Great site. The DYE-2 and DYE-3 stations built on the glacier that they just abandoned remind me of something you'd see in a post apocalyptic movie or game.

This video shows some explorers looking around inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMTTjVIMWoE

My other favorite Cold War site is Safeguard, a 70's era anti-ballistic missile system that cost six billion and was only operational for six months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_R._Mickelsen_Safeguard...

In-laws are from that immediate area. I've been inside the PAR which is still operational, and done some outside the fence viewing of the Nekoma site before it was decommissioned.

Love the almost alien building look that the Wikipedia article has as the main image. So very brutalist but ultimately for utility.
